'Blackhat' goes to the screen:a beautiful picture with Hemsworth.
Loud world premiere of the film was logical: first, Michael Mann as a Director, secondly superstar Chris Hemsworth in the title role, the third is the role in espionage action.

Hollywood can imagine anything it wants, but in real life hackers cannot get to the control rooms of nuclear power stations.
These facilities are isolated from the Internet as we know it.The Columbia Generating Station, a nuclear power station in Washington, even went so far as to publish a blog post on its cyber security program, though not the actual measures it takes, in response to alarmed comments from the public precipitated in part by the trailer for the movie.

The movie should be seen for what it is, a commercial offering of entertainment for movie goers. Any resemblance to real life is purely unintentional.

Re; Chris Hemsworth--"he does have.. a natural pensiveness bordering on melancholy that creates a nice frisson with his bulging muscles and heartthrob looks."
Oh Puh-leaze! This reads like a paragraph from People magazine when it made Hemsworth "Sexiest Man Alive" this past month.
Why is it that we can't have a hacker that actually LOOKS and sounds like a hacker? A kid whose entire demeanor comes from sitting at a computer every day, all day--who has had NO human interaction especially with a woman as beautiful as Tang Wei. He'd stutter and stumble if a woman such as Wei even talked to him. Computer hackers are obnoxious and have NO social skills, because they have no friends and never leave their homes.
More of a DJ Qualls, a young Alan Cummings (Goldeneye--I am invincible!) or even Tobey Maguire rather than Hemsworth.
And I along with all my colleagues waited for months to see "Rush!"
